more than an english teacher

today was the first day of my teaching classes

i loved it

it is finally what i am going to school to be

but its funny

because i feel more tired than when

i was working 5am -5pm

maybe it is just cause work was crazy

i have a four hour class called 'teaching exploration'

while byu's program may be more hard than needed

i really like the approach thus far

today we just really focused and talked

about how being a teacher was more than 

just teaching students to write

english teachers have a unique role

that the skills they are teaching lend directly

to life and the real world 

and one of the most important things these days

about being a teacher is teaching

things beyond the general subjects

because anyone can learn those skills from a book

so really i have to learn more than

just how to teach a poem

and i think thats pretty cool

and its exactly what i want

and what i want to do with my life

so the four hour class wasnt bad

next week we are placed in classrooms

and actually teach already!

i am so excited

like cant wait

lets just hope that the professors feel it is right

because they said they would talk you 

out of the program if 

it was wrong for you

and look at what a cool 

and official name badge i get!

yup. its fer real now.
